Chinese Premier Li Keqiang praised the Hong Kong government’s efforts in revitalizing the economy as it rolls back COVID-19 restrictions, in a meeting on Thursday with the territory’s leader in Beijing.
Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee is on his first trip to the capital to deliver an annual year-end report to leaders. He is expected to meet with President Xi Jinping to discuss the city’s political, economic and COVID-19 situations before returning to Hong Kong on Saturday.
Li expressed his approval of Lee’s work over the past six months, during which most of the city’s COVID-19 restrictions were relaxed, helping to restore Hong Kong’s image as a vibrant financial hub.
